- Attention. There it is North Korea to do, says Sico van der Meer of the Clingendael Institute.,, They want world attention, because it falls lately gone through the economic crisis, Ukraine and Russia and refugees. They're a little bit in the corner and do they want to get back into the limelight, '' said the nuclear weapon and Korea expert.


         The North Korean regime said Wednesday to have tested a hydrogen bomb. That would be a new step. A hydrogen bomb is more powerful than a 'normal' atomic bomb. Other countries, however, doubt whether it really was a hydrogen bomb. That is also Van der Meer's first impression.,, The earthquake that followed was quite light, similar to previous nuclear tests. It could also be that it was a hydrogen bomb, but that the explosion was not successful. Bluff plays a major role in North Korea. ''
With a hydrogen bomb North Korea would be a very exclusive group. Only the five major powers in the world- the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France- have a hydrogen bomb. Van der Meer.,, India is in the accused bench, which is perhaps experimenting. If India does, Pakistan does well, there you can synchronize the clock. And perhaps Israel. Nobody else. ''
North Korea test more nuclear weapons. This not only sends a message to the outside world, but also to their own,, brainwashed, oppressed population ''. Which are decades frightened of the outside world, especially for Americans.,, They may at any time launch an invasion, the propaganda. With such 'fiestas' is rubbed how great the regime, they make abroad is kept outside the door. ''
The question is how other countries will respond to the test. Even China, North Korea always holding the hand above the head, becoming increasingly irritated.,, But China will not truncate the relationship, therefore the stakes are too high. For now the patching things continues to maintain the status quo. '' It is also due to fear of uncertainty.,, Suppose the regime falls. Reconstruction will cost billions, you get refugee flows and weapons become disoriented. That is worse than what we have now. ''
But North Korea knows that there are limits.,, Nuclear weapons use really is unprecedented, that would be suicide. North Korea also knows they need support and IS terrorists. But they need to keep coming up with pinpricks. Small enough to not escalate, but big enough to get attention. ''
